Generals before me but since it is the Queenes pleasure I must endure it and you chuse a fit time to obtaine that or any thing else against me Yet I will concurre with you in the seruice as long as it shall please her Maiesty to imploy vs here but hereafter I doubt not but to giue you satisfaction that I am not worthy of this wrong The Counsel my self vpon occasion of extraordinary consequence sent for some of the Companies of Mounster out of Connaght when we heard you were to be supplied with two thousand out of England but we receiued from them a flat deniall to come and the coppy of your letter to warrant them therein If you haue any authority from the Queene to countermand mine you may very well iustifie it but it is more then you haue vowed to me to haue when I before my comming ouer protested vnto you that if you had I would rather serue the Queene in prison then here My Lord these are great disgraces to me and so conceiued and I thinke iustly by all that know it which is and will be very shortly all Ireland My alleagiance and owne honour are now ingaged with all my burthens to goe on in this worke otherwise no feare should make me suffer thus much and what I doe it is onely loue doth moue me vnto it for I know you are deere to one whom I am bound to respect with extraordinary affection And so my Lord I wish you well and will omit nothing while I am in this Kingdome to giue you ●he best contentment I can and continue as Your assured friend Mountioy The Lord President within few daies not onely with a calme noble and wise answere pacified his Lordships anger but also by many good Offices betweene his Lordship and Master Secretary with whom as a most inward friend hee had great power so combined their new begunne loue as hee ingaged his Lordship in a great bond of thankefulnes to him The eleuenth of August his Lordship wrote to the Gouernour of the Newry that to auoid the continuall trouble of Conuoyes hereafter he should presently send vp as great prouision of victuals to Armagh as possibly he could while his Lordship lay in that part with the Army For two daies after by reason of much raine falling and the expecting of these victuals his Lordship lay still in the Campe neere Mount Norris The thirteenth the victuals came but not in such great proportion as was directed because the victuler had failed to bake great part of his meale and the Cowes expected from Dundalke were not yet sent by the Submitties according to their promise The same day his Lordship rose and incamped three miles short of Armagh The foureteenth his Lordship rose with the Army and put all the victuals he had receiued into the Abbey of Armagh and the Fort of Blackewater and returned back to the same camping place The fifteenth his Lordship drew backe to his former Campe neere Mount Norreis and sent out some Companies of Horse and Foote to the skirts of the wood neere the Fort to guard those that cut wood for making of Carres to transport more victuals to the said garrisons The sixteenth his Lordship drew backe to Carickbane neere the Newry to hasten the prouision of victuals in as great quantity as might be which was dispatched within few dayes The twenty three his Lordship wrote the following letter to M r Secretary SIR I did euer foresee and haue signified so much that any forraine succours would cleane alter the State of this Kingdome and the whole frame of our proceedings and doe find that the assurance that these people doe now receiue thereof doth make them stand vpon other termes then they were wont and much diuert our purposes which we had conceiued with good reason and great hope Of any but the English we haue small assurance and of them the Army is exceeding weake The Irish newly submitted their wauering faith hithetto we haue vsed to great effect for we haue wasted them and the rebels by them but when we come to lay our Forces in remote garrisons they flie the hardnes of that life and doe againe betake themselues vnto any head that is of power to spoile and with the best paid and preuailing party they will euer be I am certainely told by Sir Iohn Barkely that some Spaniards that arriued at Sligo as they say to discouer and with assurance of the present comming of a great force doe there fortifie and as he hath been more particularly informed not in a compasse only capeable of themselues but in such sort as it will be able to lodge great numbers This my being preuented to follow my purposes in these parts as I would draweth me into the Pale to aduise of the best assurance for the maine and yet not to quit my purposes in such sort in these parts but if the Spaniards doe not come I may againe look this way with my former desire which was to beat the chiefe Traitor cleane out of his Conntrey for vntill that be done there will be euer left a fier which vpon all occasions will breake out more and more violently When I haue spoken with the rest of the Counsell and considered more neerely the disposition of these inward parts I will more largely relate vnto you my opinion neither will I now much trouble you with my owne estate although not onely my selfe but I protest the seruice doth feele the effect of a general conceiued rumour of her Maiesties displeasure to me I am so neerely interessed therein that I cannot speak much of that matter without the preiudice of a priuate respect to my selfe but onely this I most humbly desire her Maiestie for her owne sake to vse me no longer here then shee thinketh me fit to be trusted and graced for without both I shal but striue against the wind and tide and be fit for nothing but my owne poore harbour vnto the which I most humbly desire to be speedily called with her gracious fauour since my owne conscience maketh me presume to desire so much that best doth know with how vntollerable labour of minde and body I haue and doe continually serue her And so Sir I beseech God to send you as much contentment as I doe want The 23 of August 1601. Yours Sir to doe you seruice Mountioy The fortifying of the Spaniards at Sligo vanished with the rumour which was grounded vpon some arriuing to bring the Rebels certaine newes of present succours and presently returning And the brute or perhaps his Lordships iealousie of her Maiesties displeasure arose from the confessions of some examined about the rash attempts of the vnfortunate Earle of Essex who had accused the Lord Deputy to be priuy to that proiect His Lordship purposing to draw into the Pale or parts neere Dublyn left his forces in the North for those of Loughfoyle had not yet correspondency with these in this following manner

entertainement cannot allow so much for his horse but by that meanes both the Horse will be starued and the Oates will perish before they be spent In time of plenty the ordinary rate of Oates in Ireland was but at twelue pence the barrell yet they are now well content to pay six shillings a barrell which is at the highest rate the Souldier can giue Of these particulars wee humbly pray redresse from your Lordships And so c. From Corke c. The first of March the Lord Deputy by letters from the Lords in England was required to send ouer a Lieftenant being one of the late cast Companies but still remaining in Ireland to the end he might answer before their Lordships certaine complaints made against him For whereas many Officers in the late leuies of men had receiued in the Country able and sufficient men as wel to serue vnder themselues as to be conducted ouer to be disposed by the Lord Deputy whereof they had for diuers sums of money dismissed many at the Sea side pretending that they were lame or sicke and that they had taken better men in their place neither of these pretences being true Their Lordships purposed to inflict some exemplary punishment for this great offence and therefore required this Lieftenant to be sent ouer who was accused among and aboue the rest The eight of March Sir Oliuer S. Iohns who was sent into England from Kinsale with newes of the good successe in the taking of Rincoran and Nyparke Castles and the happy repulse of the Spaniards sallying vpon our Cannon returned backe to Corke and brought from the Queene this following letter Elizabeth Regina RIght trusty and welbeloued we greet you well By the genlemans relation whom last you sent vnto vs and by your Letters we receiued with much contentment the newes of the rendition of Kinsale and other places held by the Spaniards in that Kingdome wherein although by comparing the same with those reports which were brought vs by diuers that they were not onely in misery for victuall but in penury of men as not being fiue hundred strong we conceiued that you might haue giuen them stricter lawes in their composition and so doe now perceiue how easie a matter it is for those that are neerer hand to the matters of warre then we are to be mistaken yet vpon those considerations which we haue obserued in your iournall last sent ouer containing many important circumstances which did leade you to that course amongst which no one hath so much moued vs as that assault would haue shed the blood of our subiects which is dearer to vs then any reuenge or glory we doe account it both in the successe one of the most acceptable accidents that hath befallen vs and in your carriage thereof discerne it to haue beene guided with as many parts of an able and prouident Minister as any we haue vsed in seruice of like nature And therefore hold it both iust and necessary for vs to yeeld you this testimony of our gracious acceptation of your endeauours which haue beene accompanied with so much paine and perill It remaineth now seeing the state of all things there and your owne desires doe require it that wee speake something of those things which are fit to be thought of for the time to come whereof seeing this euent hath both already begun and is very like to worke great alteration to our aduantage That which we could wish you to aime at is in sum next to the safety of the Kingdome to giue all possible ease to our State by diminishing that great consumption of treasure which of late yeeres wee haue sustained And yet how to direct precisely by what meanes and parcels in euery particular the same is to be done is very hard for vs at this present especially vntill we shall receiue from you and our Counsell there further light by the information of the state of all things now after these successes together with your owne opinion thereupon onely as it is apparant to vs already by your letter that in your own iudgement hauing due sence of the infinite inconueniencies which daily are multiplied vppon this Kingdome by that occasion you did immediatly after the rendition both cast some part of our Army there and stay the supplies comming from hence so in that course we doubt not but you doe and will continue as farre forth as things may beare it in taking care that our Army be not weakened by holding more small garrisons then are necessary And this we may with very good reason say out of obseruation of that which hath passed of latter yeeres and agreeable to your owne opinion That one charge there is very great to vs and yet without any manner of ground of safety if there were cause of aduenture and that is the entertainement of great numbers of Irish wherein we will note vnto you these two considerations First that when things there were at most hazard for vs your owne spirit was doubtfull of the seruice which might be reaped by them Secondly that heretofore when they haue beene vsed it hath not beene seene that either they were entertained at the same rate of pay with our owne Nation or so mixed in common with them in regiments but euer kept more apart both in companies seuerall and vsed in places and in seruices proper for them which course although this extraordinary danger of our Kingdome hath giuen occasion to dispence with yet doubt we not but in your owne conceit you will thinke it meet with all conuenient speed to reforme and giue beginning to it by such degrees of dimunition and in such measure as you shall find to be most for the good of our seruice For the matter which hath beene moued to you from the Arch-trairor we commend your handling of the offer in that you haue kept the dignity of the place you hold and therein ours and yet we doe not mislike that you did not so desperately reiect him as to conclude him thereby from opening the further scope of his desires And though till the next ouerture we haue little more to write vnto you yet we may say thus much in generality that the monstrousnesse of his fact stained with so many and deepe spots of offences of seuerall natures and degrees though none more odious then his ingratitude and the quicke sence we haue alwaies of the biemishing of our honour doth not permit vs to hold any other way with him then the plaine way of perdition And therefore doe aduise you to all courses that may winne vs glory vpon him and if our Armes must be accompanied with any part of mercy rather to imploy the same in receiuing the secondary members and Vriaghts from him by whom that life which is left him standeth then to make so much account of so vile an head as to thinke him worthy to be recouered but rather that abandoned of God and men he may be left to feele

the other third part of that allowance except he had other great Fees and place of commodity in this Kingdome his Lordship nominated as before Sir George Cary to be most fit for that place some other Counsellers being in this one point ioyned with him namely to signe all such warrants as should be signed for the disbursing of the Treasure The instructions giuen to Master Cooke were these To procure a new Pattent to the Lord Mountioy with title of Lord Lieutenant and with authority to leaue Sir George Carey Treasurer at Warres to be Lord Deputy and so his Lordship to come presently ouer 2. To procure new Pattents for Wards letting of the Kings lands compounding the Kings debts c. as before 3. To solicite for victuall munition and mony 4. To moue the change of the base coine now currant 5. To aduertise the newes from Spaine 6. To solicite the sending of new Seales namely the great Seale Signets Counsell seales for the State Mounster and Connaght for the Kings Bench Common pleas and Exchequer 7. To procure authoritie to passe estates to the Irish Lords After King Iames his Proclamation at Dublin the Lord Deputy sent like Proclamations to all Gouernours Magistrates and Officers of Prouinces Cities and Countries to be in like sort published and with all made knowne to them seuerally his Maiesties pleasure signified in his letters directed to the Lords in England to continue all Gouernours Magistrates and Officers and all his Maiesties Ministers as well Martiall as Ciuill of both the Kingdomes of England and Ireland in as absolute authorities and iurisdictions of their places as before the decease of the late Queene Elizabeth of famous memory they enioyed and exercised the same as also to continue and establish all the Lawes and Statutes of both Kingdomes in their former force and validity till such time as his Maiesty should please to take fuller knowledge and resolue for the publik good of any alteration not intended but vpon some speciall and waighty causes and should please to giue notice of his pleasure Further his Lordship aduised them to concurre with him in the vigilant care to present all things in the best estate might be to the first view of so worthy and mighty a Soueraigne The twelfth of Aprill the Lord Deputy receiued letters from Sir Charles Wilmott and Sir George Thorneton appointed Commissioners with ioynt authority for gouerning the Prouince of Mounster in the absence of Sir George Carew Lord President late gone for England aduertising that they had blocked vp Mac Morrish in the Castle of Billingarry belonging to the Lord Fitz-morrice and hoped by the taking thereof to cleere the Prouince of all open Rebels The fifteenth of Aprill his Lordship receiued a letter from Ororke humbly imploring the Queenes mercy and the same day after his hearing of the Queenes death another in like humblenesse crauing the Kings mercy The sixteenth day his Lordship receiued letters from the Mayor of Corke aduertising that hee had receiued the Kings Proclamation the eleuenth of Aprill and had deferred the publishing thereof to this day onely to the end it might be doue with more solemnity humbly praying that in regard the Fort built for defence of the Harbour of Corke from forraigne inuasion was not kept by a Commander sufficient to secure the same for the Crowne his Lordship would accept the offer of him the Mayor and therest of the corporation of the said City to keepe the same for his Maiesty at their owne perill Lastly complaining that the Souldiers now keeping the Fort did shoote at the Fishermen and at the Boates sent out of the Towne for prouisions vsing them at their pleasure The same sixteenth day his Lordship was aduertised by seuerall letters First that the Citizens of Waterford had broken vp the doores of the Hospitall and had admitted one Doctor White to preach at Saint Patrickes Church and had taken from the Sexton the keyes of the Cathedrall Church of themselues mutinously setting vp the publike celebration of the Masse and doing many insolencies in that kind Secondly that Edward Raghter a Dominican Frier of Kilkenny assisted by some of the Towne came to the Blacke-Fryers vsed for a Session-House and breaking the doores pulled downe the benches and seates of Iustice building an Altar in the place of them and commanded one Biship dwelling in part of the Abbey to deliuer him the keyes of his House who was to take possession of the whole Abbey in the name and right of the Friers his brethren The eighteenth day his Lordship was aduertised from the Commissioners of Mounster that the Citizens of Corke had not onely refused to ioine with them in publishing the Proclamation of King Iames but had drawne themselues all into Armes and kept strong guardes at their Ports and had absolutely forbidden the Commissioners to publish the same with such contemptuous words and actions as would haue raised a mutiny if they had not vsed greater temper That the Townesmen had made stay of boats loaded with the Kings victuals and munition for the Fort of Haleholin saying that the Fort was built within their Franchizes without their consent and was meetest to be in the custody of the City Whereupon they the said Commissioners accompanied with the Lord Roche and some 800 persons of the Countrey all expressing muchioy but none of the Citizens assisting or expressing any ioy did publish the Proclamation vpon an hill neere the Towne with as much solemnity as might be and had furnished the Fort with victuals and munition from Kinsale And they besought his Lordship speedily to reestablish by new Letters Pattents the Magistrates authority because the ceasing thereof by the Queenes death had especially emboldened these Citizens to be thus insolent The same day one Edward Gough a Merchant of Dublyn newly comming out of Spaine and examined vpon oath said that at Cales he saw the Ordinance shipped to S. Lucas for forty sayle as he heard there ready to goe for Lisbone where was a fleete of 140 ships prepared as some said for Ireland or as others said for Flaunders but hee heard no Generall named onely heard that Don Iean de l'Agula was againe receiued to the Kings fauour The 22 day his Lordship wrote to the Soneraigne of Kilkenny that howsoeuer he had no purpose violently to reforme Religion in this Kingdome but rather prayed for their better vnderstanding yet he could not permit yea must seuerely punish in that Towne and otherwhere the seditious mutinous setting vp of the publike exercise of Popish Religion without publike authority and likewise with preiudice done to those of the prosession established by God and by the Lawes of both the Realmes requiring that hee and they should desist from such mutinous disorders apprehending the chiefe authors and if they wanted power to suppresse the sedition of a few Priests Friers his L P offered to assist them with the Kings forces for he would not faile to giue life to the
